As family law practitioners, we know clients are often unprepared to create a fair and equitable financial settlement on their own or even know the financial implications of today’s decisions on the prsent and future value of their financial estate.

Most couples know some basics, but figure they’ll put it all in the “pot”, minus the house, of course, and split the difference. This rather simplistic division is not due to a lack of willingness or interest on their part, but more due to the fact that they “don’t know what they don’t know.”

This workshop will show you how to:

• Prevent financial “mistakes” in our clients’ divorces
• Learn how technology can enhance the process and lead to settlement
• Review Ethical and Liability issues (i.e. QDRO preparation timeliness, pension plan specifics, tax disclaimers, etc.)
• Find out how a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst can help your clients come to settlement more easily and alleviate the attorney of the need to stay on top of all of minutia of their client’s finances.

A cast study approach will be used to illustrate the concepts.
